[CP2K-user] Local potential for potential alignment in charged systems

[ma...@gmail.com]

Hi Nick,

Yes, this is very helpful. But another issue is that V_HARTREE_CUBE is only 
valid for QS with GPW which is mentioned in the manual... I'm wondering is 
there any approach to print the elctrostatic potential for ALL_ELECTRON 
basis sets with GAPW?

Regards,
Hongyang
